About Me


DJ Sabo - Sol Selectas - “Collected EP”
SABO's production in the last four years has gained international recognition and brought him to DJ in countries like Brazil, Spain, Dominican Republic, Austria, Mexico, and Kosovo, as well as various cities in the US. He has six EP releases on his own label Sol*Selectas, two 12" releases on Wonderwheel Recordings, and a full length album on the way in '08 for Irma Records in Italy, with production partner Zeb. From Brazilian to Afrobeat, Disco to Reggae, Hip Hop to Dub, Miami Bass to House, Latin to Techno, Sabo is known to be locked into each style as if it were the only thing he's been spinning for the past 10 years, and he flows seamlessly from one genre to the next. He's been a special guest at Turntables on the Hudson parties for the last 5 years, works at the Turntable Lab NY store, is an instructor at the Scratch DJ Academy, and has dj residencies at Bembe, Cafe Noir, Hotel QT, and Sushi Samba in NYC. He Dj'ed the infamous PS-1 Warmup Party in 2003, The Cooper Hewitt After Work Series in 2004 - 2006, and was nominated to URB magazine's Annual 'Next 100' in 2006. He's opened up for the bands Yerba Buena, Brazilian Girls, Antibalas, The Pimps of Joytime, and Si*Se, and has remixed tracks for Nickodemus, Kokolo Afrobeat Orhcestra, Los Monos, Pacha Massive Sound System, and Balkan Beat Box. Keep on the lookout for dj SABO coming to your town soon, and witness the roof shake, and the dance floor sweat, with his signature "funky music to make you feel good" style.
